Show Notes
A series of Iranian strikes on the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia has left a U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry surveillance aircraft heavily damaged and 15 American soldiers wounded. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has alleged that Russian satellite intelligence facilitated the precision attack, which also impacted multiple KC-135 tankers. On the home front, the 'No Kings' movement mobilized thousands of protesters in cities like St. Paul to voice opposition to the war and rising living costs. These events coincide with a deteriorating economic outlook as oil prices surpass $100 per barrel, threatening to stall an already stagnant U.S. job market. Analysts at the OECD now project inflation could reach 4.2 percent this year, complicating the financial stability of American households already facing increased energy costs exceeding $1,350 annually.
